Darwin Project
When Charles Darwin came up with his ‘survival of the fittest’ theory he probably wasn’t referring to 10 homicidal maniacs running around the snow and mutilating each other with axes and arrows. Yet here we are.
Pit People
It can be difficult for a video game to form its own identity rather than rely on the inspiration from the games that came before it. Although The Behemoth’s latest release, Pit People, is a game unlike anything I’ve seen before. Hell, it’s unlike anything I could have ever imagined.
Into the Breach
Occasionally a game comes along that imbues a genre with new life. A game that reimagines the standard and repurposes it in a simple yet elegant way. Into the Breach is most certainly one of these games. Releasing at the end of February by developer Subset Games, Into the Breach...
Mulaka
Embracing the rich and largely untold story of Tarahumara culture, Mulaka is a journey of discovery and spirituality in a corrupted world. You play as a Sukurúame, a native Shaman who posses great powers including the ability to see into the spirit world. Spear in hand you set out on...

Hidden Agenda is the new game by developer Supermassive and you’ll immediately see some familiar tropes and similarities with...
Hand of Fate 2
You sit face to face with the dealer. Your fate firmly sealed within the grasp of his withered hands. A deck of cards reveals the long journey you took to get to the dealer’s side. Each card a blank moment of your history that needs to be written into existence....
The all-American hero, William Joseph Blazkowicz, has returned with more firepower, more scars, and more determination to take down the ruling Nazi force.
Talion has returned to Middle-earth alongside his annoyingly grumpy and totally overpowered wraith/elf sidekick (Celebrimbor) to fight a systematic hierarchy of talkative Orcs. Yes, we are of course talking about Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
Hob
I’ve been amazed at the amount of super high quality indie titles that have been releasing recently and Hob is a prime example. I’m not quite sure how it keeps happening but time and time again I find myself flabbergasted by the visual style created in these smaller releases. Hob...
Developed by Larian Studios, Divinity Original Sin 2 is an increadible leap forward, not only for the series, but for RPGs in general.
